New exhaust at last!

[KentishS2]

The old stainless one has started to rattle like an old tin can (knackered baffles). So, it's coming off on Friday and the new custom one is being built, I'm going for a straight through with a single cylindrical silencer (probably) with a minimum amount of silencing in the box. I'm also going for a higher ground clearance....

The bore of the new system will be more than adequate to provide backpressure so performance will be similar or better. All in high grade stainless steel.

Should sound pretty awesome!

And I may even be able to get some flames out of the back when I pop and bang.

A couple of guys at a local engineering works (in Kent) who do a lot of custom work on Aston Martins.

You dont need any silencing though, you know it makes sense to skip that bit

"Minimal" silencing!



I'm having the geometry changed slightly so that it sits up in the chassis a little more to help wth ground clearance, which is mainly why I went for a bespoke system.

Update.... new stainless downpipes will be fitted too!

I'm keeping the mild steel manifolds as I'm advised that they are better for sealing and are less prone to cracking.

And you don't run the risk of shearing the manifold bolts during removal, having to remove the heads etc etc.....

very true!
